How to make custom buttons with swiftui?

To create custom buttons with SwiftUI, you can leverage the built-in capabilities and styles provided by SwiftUI. Here are some key points and examples from the sessions:

1. Adaptive Views: SwiftUI buttons are adaptive and can be customized in various styles such as borderless, bordered, or prominent. They adapt to different contexts like swipe actions, menus, and forms. This adaptability allows you to create buttons that fit seamlessly into different parts of your app.

   • Example: You can create a button with a custom label and action:

     Button(action: {
         // Your action here
     }) {
         Text("Custom Button")
             .padding()
             .background(Color.blue)
             .foregroundColor(.white)
             .cornerRadius(8)
     }
     

2. Button Styles: SwiftUI provides different button styles that you can use to achieve various looks and behaviors. For instance, the borderlessButtonStyle and cardButtonStyle can be used to create different visual effects.

   • Example: Using cardButtonStyle for a more subtle interaction:

     Button(action: {
         // Your action here
     }) {
         Text("Card Button")
     }
     .buttonStyle(CardButtonStyle())
     

3. Custom Control Styles: If you need more control over the appearance and behavior of your buttons, you can create custom control styles.

   • Example: Creating a custom button style:

     struct CustomButtonStyle: ButtonStyle {
         func makeBody(configuration: Configuration) -> some View {
             configuration.label
                 .padding()
                 .background(configuration.isPressed ? Color.gray : Color.blue)
                 .foregroundColor(.white)
                 .cornerRadius(8)
         }
     }
     
     Button(action: {
         // Your action here
     }) {
         Text("Custom Styled Button")
     }
     .buttonStyle(CustomButtonStyle())
